How do you make arch support for shoes?

Published in Foot Health 1 min read

Based on the provided reference, you can make arch support for shoes using athletic tape (or cut-down wider athletic tape) applied in strips.

Here's a breakdown of the method using athletic tape:

  1. Gather your materials: You'll need athletic tape (or wider athletic tape cut lengthwise) and scissors. The reference suggests that KT tape or "fancy" tapes aren't necessary; regular athletic tape works.
  2. Prepare the tape: If using wide athletic tape, cut it down lengthwise into narrower strips. The video implies that if you use smaller tape you will just need to use more strips.
  3. Application: The video reference does not show the application. It's reasonable to assume the tape is applied to the foot to create the arch support. Further, based on the video thumbnail, the tape is likely wrapped around the foot to provide support under the arch.

Because the video only shows the materials needed to make the arch support, this answer assumes you want to make a temporary support that is applied to the foot.
